Born For Infinity
Born For Infinity
As water falls
from clouds
And music flows
from guitars
and words leave
the poet
and light
pours from stars
As art
from the painter
scent radiates
from bloom
peach tree
bursts from pit
child born
of womb
As attraction
leaves the magnet
love departs the heart
heat leaves the fire
Auras
from souls depart

4 Poems: Bee Tables, Woods Worship, Gathered Shards, Yes I Can
YES I CAN
*
Can I help?
Of course I can
said all from
the people of Japan
to each Corsican
*
GATHERED SHARDS
*
As magnets pull iron filings
and vacuums draw up rice grains
As the sun lifts sea waters
and rivers gather drops of rain
does Great Love
sooner or later
attract all to His train
*
WOODS WORSHIP
*
Daffodils convene
in clusters in the
fallen leaved woods
to worship in
Mother Earth’s chapel
*
BEE TABLES
*
For wandering bees
Queen Anne’s Lace
is the table, the food
and visible grace.
